Goldenvoice ended the speculation Tuesday night, revealing the full Coachella 2027 lineup for the festival\u2019s return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, April 9\u201311 and April 16\u201318, 2027. Dua Lipa headlines both Fridays, Tame Impala tops both Saturdays, and SZA closes out both Sundays. The reveal confirms the rumor mill that had been circling since late October \u2014 TMZ, Complex and Consequence all had the same three names at the top \u2014 and Goldenvoice is framing the edition as \u201cthe return to innocence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this audience, the headline is SZA. The TDE songstress, who had been teasing her desert moment in the weeks before the announcement, now owns the most prestigious slot on the poster: the Sunday close, both weekends, on the biggest festival stage in the country. It\u2019s a crowning booking for an artist whose run over the last few years has made her one of the defining voices in R&B, and it puts a Black woman at the top of Coachella\u2019s bill in the closing position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hip hop and R&B depth underneath her is real. Don Toliver lands on Sunday alongside Dom Dolla and Four Tet. Friday brings Kehlani and Steve Lacy. Saturday\u2019s bill runs through Leon Bridges and Mariah the Scientist, and Sunday stacks Jorja Smith and Victoria Mon\u00e9t behind SZA. Sunday also carries Dinner Party \u2014 the supergroup of 9th Wonder, Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper and Kamasi Washington \u2014 with 9th Wonder himself posting the poster this morning: \u201cSee you at Coachella!\u201d And keep scanning the small print: Freddie Gibbs is buried in Sunday\u2019s lineup, and Friday hides a Fetty Wap booking \u2014 the kind of names that reward the fans who read the whole poster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there are the two names nobody had on their bingo card. Madonna, the Queen of Pop, is billed on the second line with a twist: she\u2019ll perform in the dance tent on Fridays. And Daddy Yankee \u2014 who said goodbye with a farewell tour in 2023 before returning to music last year \u2014 gets a standalone billing all his own, \u201cIn The Desert,\u201d with performance dates still to be specified. Justice also receives special billing, presenting the Bunker debut of Blinded By The Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the poster is stacked the way Coachella posters always are: Robyn, Phoebe Bridgers, Zara Larsson, Weezer, Ti\u00ebsto, Martin Garrix, Kygo, Becky G, NCT and BABYMONSTER are all in the mix across the two weekends, alongside hundreds more names spread over the festival\u2019s stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going, move fast. Advance passes put on sale before the lineup dropped have already sold out, and the general on-sale starts Friday, November 13 at noon Pacific (3 PM Eastern) at coachella.com. If you\u2019re not going, YouTube returns as the exclusive livestream home for both weekends \u2014 its 15th straight year carrying the festival to the couch. Either way, April in the desert just got its storyline: SZA closes the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
